The article deals with the research design used in the universities of Pakistan
for the discipline of Urdu language and literature. Urdu research design is
different from that of other social sciences. Its style of chapterization,
presentation, reporting and citation does not match any of the other
disciplines. Formulation of hypothesis, research objectives and research
questions are not made a part of the reports. Some of the theses even do not
have any findings or conclusion. That is why these researches do not address
the problems. The theses and dissertations do are not clear about achieving
of the objectives and goals. For this study, fifty theses of Pakistani universities
were randomly selected and analyzed to find out the strengths and flaws of
their research design. Based on the findings, recommendations and
suggestions for the improvement of the design have also been presented.
